Hi Quinn, This normally means you are "not authorised" to see the other persons presence information (online/away/offline etc) and that you should be re-requesting the authorisation (not him). Depending on the XMPP server that you're connecting to, you might need to remove the buddy and re-add them. If it's gtalk.com as the XMPP server, then that's a whole different kettle of fish with a different solution (related to public vs private profiles and accounts)
Are you still able to send/recieve IM messages from him?
